UPND wants Information Minister Kambwili arrested for hate speech

Chishimba Kambwili gestures on Sunday Interview

The opposition UPND has reacted to Chief Government Spokesman Chishimba Kambwili’s attacks on Sunday evening by calling on the Zambia Police Service to arrest the Roan MP for spreading hate speech.
UPND Spokesman Charles Kakoma stated that Mr Kambwili’s statement bordered on blasphemy and mocking of God.

Mr Kambwili during his Sunday Interview TV programme stated that people from Southern Province are so tribal such that they could not vote for Jesus Christ even if the Son of God stood against a Tonga candidate.

But Mr Kakoma said Mr Kambwili’s attacks shows reality of PF approach to leadership and that the UPND is not surprised.

“Chishimba Kambwili, who while representing President Edgar Lungu and the entire PF Government uttered dangerous and divisive statements against the people of Zambia during his ZNBC Sunday Interview programme on 10th January 2016. Kambwili said on behalf of Lungu last night that there are regions in this country where even if Jesus Christ stood against their leader, they would reject Jesus,” Mr Kakoma recollected.

He added, “This is not only unconstitutional and hate speech at the highest level but now amounts to blasphemy against Jesus the Son of God. This is against the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation.

The UPND Spokesman said Mr Kambwili has broken the law and gone against the penal code adding that criminal procedures must commence now.

He said, “According to Cap 87, Section 70(1) of the laws of Zambia it is stated as follows: “Any person who utters any words or publishes any writing expressing or showing hatred, ridicule or contempt for any person or group of persons wholly or mainly because of his or their race, tribe, place of origin or colour is guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years.”
Mr Kakoma challenged the police to rise up now and arrest Mr Kambwili for breaking the law, before aggrieved citizens rise up against Kambwili and the PF regime.

“The evidence is overwhelming that this could be the shortest criminal matter to be adjudicated by our courts of law. Clearly, the PF leadership have now crossed the path and are resorting to blasphemy, as was the case with the people that built the titanic ship and later mocked that not even God would sink the boat, which is also the PF symbol.”

Mr Kakoma urged the international community to take a greater interest in what is happening in Zambia, rather than waiting to react once things have gotten out of hand and damage has already been done, as they have reacted in many African countries.

“Clearly, hate speech and promotion of tribal division is now an institutionalised PF Government policy away from real issues affecting our citizens, such as massive job losses, poverty and hunger, unemployment, and the general economic meltdown.”

He added, “The whole scheme by the PF leadership of wanting to cause tribal divisions and divert attention away from critical issues of load shedding, high cost of living, high cost of fertiliser and other inputs for farmers, increasing inflation rate, and unemployment for our citizens, especially youths and women, is well known.”

Mr Kakoma said the conduct of the public media such as Times of Zambia, Zambia Daily Mail and ZNBC also confirms what that they have now become tools that are being used to tear apart the country, as opposed to uniting the nation.

“It is not a coincidence that programmes such as ZNBC Sunday Interview and many others are merely being masked as public platforms yet they are purely PF propaganda tools with the intention of dividing the country where only PF leadership are featured demeaning and insulting others without giving them room to feature and respond.”

    • Someone asked for official results, I have posted them (results). Now debate. Looks like North – Western and Western Provinces were more “tribal” for voting for the Tonga President!!! Lol kikikiki…

    • SO PF has already rigged?? not possible, you will die of shock. wait and see. its a repeat of MMD, though the difference is that UPND has a strategy to move Zambia forward. PF has non todate. its all guess work

    • BA KAKOMA, VOTING IN SOUTH PROVINCE IS BASED ON TRIBAL LINE, WHETHER YOU TRY TO PAINT WHITE TO THIS YOUR TRIBAL PARTY THIS WILL NOT GO AWAY MY FRIEND. EVEN THE COMING INTO POLITICS OF YOUR LEADER HH WAS ON TRIBAL LINE.

    • Shut up Kakoma, what are you talking about. Truth Hates we have a very unreasonable Opposition in this Country. So it is ok for HH to be vulgar in his language insult the head of state to a point of saying that Edgar only knows eating clients money and not presiding over the affairs of the country, but it wrong for any one to say that the opposition are very unreasonable.

    • wow!!
      It looks like we have attained a new level of tribal politics…..

      HH versus Jesus Christ……. Jesus loses..kikikiki
      Southern Province stone Vs anyone from any other region of Zed…….Souther Province stone wins….kikikiki

      Awe Kambwili lishilu

    • BaChishimba, just because you are a minister pa Z of all countries, you think you are so powerful that you can bring the name of the Lord into ridicule. Bwana Minister , just accept that you don’t reason properly. Remember, when you named the stadium a “disaster” people rejected your logic. Your logic on pursuing tribal remarks as a campaign tool is misdirected and will backfire on you. Tell all the people in you province to vote for HH to prove that you and your tribe are not tribalists.

    • Listen to the interview again, Kambwili never mentioned Southern province or Tonga people………I don’t think the legal suit will hold in the courts of law.

    • AWE KAMBWILI MWAUME,ABA TONGA BONSE LELO TABALELE.EMIBELE YENU CINJENI BENIKO NGO MUBEMBA.

      AWE UMUBEMBA MUSUNGU MWE……..

    • Aba bena bakopo. Making Copperstone University look bad shuwa.
      With these statements PF will get even less – if its possible – votes from southern province at a time when UPND is on course to wrestle more votes from PF strongholds. As a strategy this is called shooting oneself in the foot.

    • A RARE BREED IN THIS TIME AND AGE TO HIT THE NAIL ON ITS HEAD LIKE THAT. THATS ALL CANDIDATES WHO ARE NOT TONGA DONT CAMPAIGN IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE BECAUSE ITS WASTE OF TIME. SOUTHERNERS HAVE JUST LOCKED THEIR MINDS THROUGH USELESS TRIBAL ARRANGEMENTS THAT ANYONE OTHER THAN TONGA SHOULD NOT EVEN BE LISTENED TO. THIS IS EVEN KNOWN IN LITTLE KIDS AS YOUNG AS 5YRS. IN THE NORTHERN REGION, OUR 5YR OLD BABIES CANT EVEN EXPALAIN WHAT POLITICS MEAN BUT MEBO YOU TEACH YOUR BABIES AS YOUNG AS 3YRS. GROW UP AND STOP THIS NOSENSE, YOU ARE SLOWLY KILLING THE NATION.

    • Folks judge for your selves which party has politicians who use tribalism to bash the opposition parties. PF is a party which ascended to power on tribal votes. It got 69 MPs most of which came from the Bemba speaking regions. The late Sata went ahead to make it even very obvious that PF belongs to Bembas only by appointing a Bemba only cabinet.

      In contrast , UPND has massive support in Western and North western Provinces both which have cultures and language dialects totally different from Tongas. Based on this, how then does any one label UPND a tribal party?

      Kambwili in an effort to make the PF party popular ,he is actually de-campaigning it massively.Very soon he will be sued by the UPND or any member of the public for peddling hate speach. Its time Lungu got serious with…

    • Hahahahah NDobo! Ndobo where are you?
      Where is Wanzelu ?
      Guys in UK you stop cheating on Cathy.
      Let me write to Cathy something romantic.
      Kambwili you are saved by Cathy Mwaba…

    • Look at these official ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):

      Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
      Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7
      Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v HH 10,7
      Southern : Sata 24,6 v HH 268,7

    • Check second paragraph you f00l. He says even if Jesus stood agsinst a Tonga he would win. Which region fo tongas come from? He may have not mentioned Southern province but by nentioning Tongas Southern province is implied.

  2. Please people stop talking about this tea car ra and i think my DOG is more useful than this cockcroach. MEN WITHOUT NECK AND HEAD.

    • Ubupuba ba Pungwa, no wonder you are an illegal immigrant who can not even come back to Zambia to visit coz once you get out of there you will not be allowed back, I know you

    • @snake bites see what ECL has done in choma check trhe development in kabanana area see the houses built in that area but they will not vote for him,Cornelius Mweetwa fails to explain to his pipo how he uses CDF ,he has even failed to work on Macha road but still they will vote for him in choma central who ever stands on a upnd ticket without any development they will vote for him,check on simoloka he has completely done nothing in munzuma but they will still vote for him coz he is a tonga my very close friend muleya simoloka confirmed this to me.ba tonga balaliyanda mundala masimpe

    • PF is suffering from HHphobia. They want to rely on divide them to rule. But this strategy is taking them nowhere. People vote based on their stomachs in Zambia. If the economy of zambia was ticking PF strategy would have worked but all things point to it that PF has failed to deliver. Ala bane natufilwa LEKENI HH ATWAFWE.

    • Truth hates ……….. you se what tribalism can do …….. it impairs your ability to spell, it should actually be “truth hurts” !

      But the fact that you are a certified tribalist makes you incapable of using the Queens language, you are not accepting of divergent cultures.

    • @zioneke, what are you talking about. Truth Hates we have a very unreasonable Opposition in this Country. So it is ok for HH to be vulgar in his language insult the head of state to a point of saying that Edgar only knows eating clients money and not presiding over the affairs of the country, but it wrong for any one to say that the opposition are very unreasonable.

    • Dear Mr Kakoma, please be practical. The Police Force (PF) will not prosecute one of their own Pathetic Fascists. Those who ate hurting from this hate speech should institute a private prosecution against Chimbwili. A trust fund can be opened towards the legal costs. Let’s not just complain. History and the law are on our side.

  3. Time to WALK THE TALK Mr. President!

    You cannot have such nonsense coming from a Minister in your Government and take no action at all!

    If you want to retain any shred of credibility as “a listening president” you had better be listening to this.

    • We do not have a President. If we had one, last night would have been Kambwili’s last hours of being a minister. I listened the whole programme with a heavy heart. And my prayer was that God should remove this kind of leadership from among us for the sake of our children and their children and those not yet born. This kind of hate is dangerous and especially that him part of his family is not in the confines of this peaceful Zambia he is trying to divide and destroy. May fire from heaven consume this kind of leadership I pray

    • Anyone who was old enough to have watched or listened to ZNBC news in the 90’s will remember that Zambia was host to at least a quarter of a million refugees, then the largest number of refugees in a single country on this continent at least.

      That is why it boggles my mind that a leader in Zambia at any level of leadership, will find it prudent to utter any words that have potential to divide the peace loving people of this country. And all for what, so that you can remain in power?
      Zambia is full examples of what happened in other countries where careless talk like this was allowed to go on unabated. (Maheba and all the many refugee camps are still there today)

    • @Zioneke, what are you talking about. Truth Hates we have a very unreasonable Opposition in this Country. So it is ok for HH to be vulgar in his language insult the head of state to a point of saying that Edgar only knows eating clients money and not presiding over the affairs of the country, but it wrong for any one to say that the opposition are very unreasonable.

    • Comment: But surely, Mr Kakoma, the UPND, Southerners and all Zambians of goodwill must be thankful that Jehovah God, the Holy One of Israel, is, in His eternal and abandunt mercy, using the likes of Mr Chishimba Kambwili, Mrs Mumbi Phiri, Mr Davies Chama, et al, as tools in His hand to effectively decampaign their failed PF party and government. They may pretend that they are President Edgar Lungu’s trusted ‘Gate-keepers’ and staunch defenders, when in actual fact their real aim is to undermine their leader for their own selfish purposes! The Lord of heaven and earth, Jesus Christ, whom they posture and purport to worship and serve, is not and has never been interested in the present political system. That’s why even when the Zealots of His day tried to make Him ruler, the Lord…

  4. BA KAKOMA, MULEIKAFYE COME ON THE VOTING PARTNER IS THERE TO PROVE THAT VOTING IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE IS BASED ON TRIBE WHETHER YOU TRY TO PUT COLOR TO INTO IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.

  5. Breaking News!!!!!

    Chainama Hospital is currently looking for one of its patient who went missing last week and was last seen on ZNBC Sunday interview of 10th Jan, 2015. Whoever sees this man must report to the nearest police station before he brings chaos in the country

  6. The Bible says Do not use the name of the Lord in vain. Christians should stay away from making inflamatory comments and accusations on Tribalism that segregate others but instead should be uniting the country which is called positive reinforcement according to principles of behavior change and faith in action according to the Bible. Christians need to learn from Rwanda religious leaders who were on trial at ICC for the same. Christians should refuse to be used in hate speech and should learn from the Rwanda Religious Incident because not even Christians are exempt from ICC. We need to examine our lives as Christians because if hate speech and tribal accusations are being made in the name of Christianity then either as Christians we are compromised,hypocrites, lost our saltiness, our

    • lost our saltiness, our lights are dim, we fear men rather than God, we are men pleasers and not God Pleasers ,we are too silent to provide Godly direction and our silence is being misunderstood for consent or we are irrelevant. Opposition Parties and their members should refuse to be provoked by distractions and should instead focus on issues and uniting the country.

  7. If EL will not drop the fool then I know that this country is headed for doom. How can you say such things on national TV and go home and have a peaceful night. Mind you his family is in the UK so what ever happens he has got somewhere to run to, with due citizenship he will be safe.
    If we are not careful Luanda is coming to Zambia and all these leaders will run away when it starts and it will be the poor Zambians who will safer.
    Lets wake up and stop these divisions, What happened to October 18th.

  8. awe the truth hates and i dont knw the justification for his arrest…which constitution is kakoma citing?????? ba dala jst go bak and start sorting yoselves out..the earlier, the better bcoz he just called a spade a spade period…..HON KAMBWILI GO GO GO GO AND TELL THE NATION WAT EVERYONE IS AFRAID TO SAY…… BRAVO

    • Actually, you are probably not even Bemba. Self respecting Bembas, we don’t subscribe to nonsense like Bemba.com. Shame.

    • Since independence, when did the people of the Northern part of this countery vote for a presidential candidate whose main other officials hailed from Southern, or Wesrtern part of Zambia?

      North-Western, Western, and Southern provinces has never cried faul this loud?

      But, why does Chimbwili like preaching tribalism, which by itself is not really a vice but rather an inalienable virtue, when handled and managed properly, through good national governance? Zambia is a democracy and all diverse interests, including tribes and languages need to be nurtured and fairly catered for.

  9. Kambwili’s analogy can only come from a fat-full-skull. If Jesus Christ stood against HH in an election people of Southern Province would definitely vote against him. Why should Jesus Christ sink so low to be a Zambian republican president? This indeed is blasphemy! Instead of debating on the current economic activity negatively affecting people they are wasting their time and energy fanning the embers of tribalism. What a fart for a minister! Sometimes I wonder what Kwambili emits comes from; mouth or the anus?

    This interview confirms the other advert linked to him where he was telling fellow Bembas to unite against other tribes and calling Tongas ing’ombe. What an *****!

    Wise statement from Kakoma and indeed the international community should take special interest in the…

  10. Kambwiliz statement is very philosophical even though many might say he doesnt even understand wat philosophy means….. mayb guys from the south need to prove him/Us yo fellow zambians wrong… its not bad to vote for a tribes man manje ka votedwe……

    • Kavotedwe ka ma Northerners and Easterners! Please check the pattern of these two groups – since independence!

      Now they are tasting the bitter taste of their own medicine because others are now working up from the slumber of the opium of “One Zambia, One Nation” farce – lelo lelo, lelo lelo…….!

  11. I feel sorry for PF because they are going come 11 Aug.2016.
    Chishimba Kambwili, think twice before you open up your useless mouth. Who told you that Jesus can stand for elections imwe batata cacine mwalipena. Why do you hate tonga’s
    I wonder a squard comprising of Chishimba Kambwanga,Mumbwe Phiri, Frank kelenka Bwalya and Davies Chama and Jean Kapata.
    Please respect the word JESUS. Jesus will never stood for elections.
    Bye bye PF kuyabebel

  12. That interview was a definition of a mastepiece.an interview i would gladly keep in my possession.when i thought courageous men were wipe out from planet earth i couldn’t believe that what i thought could be a once in a life time experience was right there before me.the truth has a weird way of making people uncomfortable.blasphemy my foot.you want to bring blasphemy in all this when you are harboring an antichrist in your quarters.deep down your hearts you know that what he was saying was the truth.classic!

    • I will not be surprised if you are being looked after by your wife because you can not get a job @dis network, you dullness shocks me, How can a grown man with five senses say such a thing but thank God you now live outside Zambia where they can put up with dull people like you. The only reason you are there is because of your wife.

    • Good luck to you if you think PF can win support of people of Southern Province with that kind of hatred. You can use state machinery today insult fellow citizens but I know for you that PF will not be charge of this country for longer time beyond August 2016, mark my words and we will see your next move.

  13. i dont see anything tribal and political in kambwiliz statement unless if we understand the Bible differently bcoz even Jesus likened things to situations and people…dnt ask me were it is writen in the Bible…..petition his jst liek u have petitioned chama….. bcoz even in that case chama was not mentioned as the one who said but it was reported to be from well placed sources from the chiefs and within upnd….so please dnt seek sympath for nothing learn to interprete things….

  14. Umubemba is cheering on Kambwili as he brings a curse upon himself and his family. Such is the quality of the PF supporters who can do anything including wiping Kamwili’s ass for the sake of money. Go on and curse yourself too, your hour of reckoning is surely coming. Change is surely coming just like the sun will rise tomorrow whether a PF supporter likes it or not. God has a final say.

  15. so we still continue insulting God even with signs of poverty this year?God forgive us we ar mortals.leaders stop mocking God u ar the reason why all these problemz hav befallen us pliz plis stayaway from using the name of the lord in vain.

    • My fellow Zambians I feel very sad when people are talking of tribe and voting.Iam both Tonga on da’s side and Bemba on mum’s side both have lived happily up today for 42yrs iam the first born.My wife is Bemba and Kaonde.so what are my children?This tribe hate speech should be left in the stone age yes with people who lived in caves.we are no longer ruled by Chiefs but presidents and we are a democracy not an autocratic chiefdom.Its the the tribe that brings food on the table but the brightest ideas.The best is HH for now lets try him.In 1991 Tongas voted for Chiluba he was the best that time.This 2016 lets try HH my fellow Bembas.He is just ok fear nothing.

  16. Chishimba you called spade a spade congrats,these chaps are tribalists.last year bye-election in neganega hh got 15000 votes edgar zero now do you cal that democracy.bakachema imwee

  17. If HH who claims to be a SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST Elder (not a mason) can deny his faith by holding public political rallies on Sabbath and many so called Adventists from a certain region abandon church to attend a political rally. Is this not tantamount to denying Jesus who is Lord of the Sabbath?

  18. Comment: You have heard and the truth hates. This time around will vote the way you vote in the south and certainly you feel it.

    • ECZ 2011 Presidential election results (‘000):

      Northern : Sata 242,5 v HH 2,9
      Luapula : Sata 151,8 v HH 1,7
      Eastern : Rupiah 233,5 v HH 10,7
      Southern : Sata 24,6 v HH 268,7

    • What is there to betray?? 21% inflation, no power, sinking ZKW, joblessness filling the country, $10 billion in dept, a country that exports nothing ???? Wake up, nothing works in Zambia.

    • LUNGU stole his clients money.

      What guarantee do we have that he won’t steal the Zambian peoples money?

      In fact, he already has. But for HH, it is innocent until proven otherwise.

      Bring proof. The proof against Lungu is already there. Two court judgements.

  19. I love Kambwili’s analogy. people with an attentive mind will understand his statement effortlessly. his statement just shows that no matter how credible and hardworking a person is as long as he or she is competing with a candidate from that region, they will never win. Kambwili never mentioned the name of that region so it could northern province, it could western or even southern. so Mr kakoma just chill. I love Kambwili’s audacity

    • Ati hard working—- 21% inflation, no power, sinking ZKW, joblessness filling the country, $10 billion in dept, a country that exports nothing ???? Must be hard working from northern.

    • You analysis is very low and I wonder what you mean by attentive mind coz from your analysis it is clear there is none. If you cant read between the teeth of that destroyer of Zambia’s unity then we have no future for this country. You should understand that Kambwili is PF and his royalty is with PF and so when he is talking like what he did yesterday, it was clear he was talking about UPND and unfortunately for him UPND is Tonga. Our constitution gives rights to any person who is Zambian to vote for whomever he feels will take Zambia forward. Some of us voted for a frog when some candidate was competing with a frog in this country and that is a right. So if others have their own choice, respect it and move. If you were around those days when a frog could compete with a person and you…

  20. …how can the police arrest someone who is immune to prosecution…??…obviously Kambwili was just a messenger of whatever he ranted…he could have liaised with his boss prior to appearing on the programme…otherwise how can one explain why by Monday midday Kambwili still has his portfolio……LPM relieved Nevers as VP almost immediately after his(Nevers) RDC ranting….
    ….if ECL want to gain a political mileage this is the time…it may not even be firing, even a mini re-shuffle to ministry of Chiefs and tradition would be enough…because that would be regarded as a demotion…after all Dr Katema has the experience of handling ministry of information….Please PF hard core blogger advice your boss….getting rid of Chama would also be a bonus….then that will send a strong…

    • @ Scrutinizer, it will not happen. Have you ever seen Lungu take decisive action about ANYTHING?

      The man is a coward and only follows after someone else has taken the lead.

      He is a “ME TOO” President that leads from behind!

  21. It will not be long before these tribalistic bigots plunge this country into civil strife. I do wonder though, for Chimbwili, Phiri-Mumbi and that PF SG of their, just what the hell has made them revile Tongas like this? Besides, much higher percentages of Tongas voted for both Sata and Lungu that the votes HH was able to curve out from the Northern caucuses! PF has Livingstone in the confluence of the Tonga-Lozi groups and yet no one can even dream of UPND wining a seat in Luapula etx. So just who the hell is more tribal here? I’m Barotse and this Bemba bashing of my Bantu-Botatwe cousins has really started pissing me off! Maybe someone needs to shoot Chimbwili in his stomach or head, to teach him a lesson. Situkumba watusondokela pe!

  22. Tribalist are the first ones to call others tribalist. This is the general spyschology of tribalist. Kambwili is thus guilty of being the most tribalist himself. This is always how it works. Tribalist accuse others first.

  23. Hon Kambwili is 100% right, what had happened to the previous voting pattern clearly shows that our fellows can not accept to vote for any body apart from their tribe mates. The Truth hates for sure. Kambwili is one of
    the Peaceful loving Zambians whom it hates seeing President Lungu Receiving Nil Or Zero votes from Southern Constituencies. Now to be honest it will be the opposite.

    • How was the voting pattern? Lets discuss. Give me actual numbers and also put in percentage form. Am challenging you man. Lets debate right here.

    • Please publish the results here so that you embarrass yourself. Stop lying s.ick. That hatred will change nothing for the people of S/P. I think they know what is the best for this country. There is no way they could overwhelming voted for visionless confessed candidate

  24. “….Kambwili said on behalf of Lungu last night that there are regions in this country where even if Jesus Christ stood against their leader, they would reject Jesus,” -he didn’t mention any particular region for you ba LT to paraphrase the statement as you have done in 2nd paragraph! He was careful enough not to ignite any fire and there is no criminal offence as he did not cite any region. But how did UPND find it fit to answer on behalf of a region Kambwili didn’t even mention? ..“This is not only unconstitutional and hate speech at the highest level but now amounts to blasphemy against Jesus the Son of God. This is against the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation” – We are not christian fundamentalist country like some islamic states that arrest and kill people over their…

  25. Breaking News: President Edgar Lungu has fired Chishimba Kambwili after the government spokesperson made jokes about Jesus in Southern Africa’s only Christian country. Doar Siliya will take over as Minister of Information and Broadacsting.

  26. Kambwili is fine at info ministry. Southerners should prove majority of zambians wrong by overwhelmingly vote for pf mps and president and come 2021 HH will have it easy.

  27. ..continued..This is against the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation” – We are not christian fundamentalist country like some islamic states that arrest and kill people over their prophet Muhammad. So blasphemy is not punishable in courts of law! So Mwaata Kakoma it is better to find a solid case to sell to the public rather than mere witch hunting because this could also be the shorted criminal case to be dismissed by the courts of Law!

  28. in Northern Province, especially Mpulungu, Mbala & Nakonde more people thank PF for working especially for the Roads in these areas. We are happy ba Edgar Lungu bale bombesha pantu kumwesu tatwaletontonkanya pali tamaki but lelo eko ili. GOD bless u mr Edgar Lungu.

    • Very good. Now you can get employed by tarmaki and eat tarmaki. While you are eating tarmaki remember tarmaki has put, you, your children, their children in a $10 billon dept trap….enjoy.

    • Inkoko, better you wait to get the bill for all these roads you are so happy with. They have not been paid for yet.

      When you discover that they have been paid for by sacrificing your children’s futures maybe you will sing a different song!

      Remember that when there is no education and no medicine for your children and they are looking like Syrian kids from starvation!!!

  29. But why are the bembas crying about voting patterns of the South??? What about voting patterns in luapula??? Are you the only ones allowed to vote for your perceived best candidate???

  30. Diabolical. Why do politicians in Zambia revert to mudslinging as soon as elections are announced.

    As for the call to arrest Kambwli, ……just trait and noise making. It is true that UPND and it’s followers would reject Jesus for HH. Everybody knows that. Just read the Comments following Message of the Day every Sunday by Joel and Victoria to understand UPND. it’s disingenuous of this chap to bristle so, it’s only because they learned that Zambians take Faith seriously enough to insist their chosen Leader is on the side of God and ulululate Jesus Christ. UPND also know Tribalusm has been the cause of their defeat.

    • If you know the weakness of your enemy, what better weapon to use? Is God not our Right, in Peace and War? Only a fool would not use God to clear away their and God’s enemies who would do harm and kill Faith in Zambia. Zambians, back PF at least they know who their Maker is.

  31. no one is crying we are only worried abt you becoz tetule fwaya mukalile kabili ba mwaanga ba temba ECL ala nalunya ku ba tonga uno mukulo

  32. Reading about the words that were said by the Hon Minister, I indeed feel he owes the people an apology. Despite the fact that the UPND is supported widely by our beloved southern province, I have come to realize that for us to be able to unite the country, it will take eliminating enmity. I feel right now the people that called for that Tonga meeting will be inspired to call for another. Such should be avoided.. If you realize your wife is easily irritated by A or B, try by all means to avoid it!!!. The hearts and minds of my brothers and sisters are simply patriotic they feel they need their own to succeed too, similar to the concept of our parents feeling proud when we excel, i feel most of my brothers value tradition too much and hence the strong love for UPND, however the more the…

    • Keep it up PF. God is our Right. We can use him to dispatch His Enemies. Keep rubbing salt into their open Tribalist sore even as they lay on the ground writhing in pain. God is a warrior, we can do battle to keep Zambia Christian in His name. Christ on a white horse clothed in a Red Cloak, soaked by His enemies blood.

      HH’s Red hats is symbolic of OUR Blood. Stop him setting up a dictatorship and breaking up Zambia. HEAR THE WAR CALL ZAMBIA!!

  33. This stinking level of tribal bigotry against Tongas is hitting a truly lunatical gutless level. Chimbwili ought to know that if chaos breaks out in Zambia, he will be among the first to be shot in the head. I’m sick and tired of this Katangese bashing of Tongas. Sometimes you really wonder, did HH refuse to screw Chimbwili whence this wholesome hatred for Tongas or what?

  34. Keep it up PF. God is our Right. We can use him to dispatch His Enemies. Keep rubbing salt into their open Tribalist sore even as they lay on the ground writhing in pain. God is a warrior, we can do battle to keep Zambia Christian in His name. Christ on a white horse clothed in a Red Cloak, soaked by His enemies blood.

    HH’s Red hats is symbolic of OUR Blood. Stop him setting up a dictatorship and breaking up Zambia. HEAR THE WAR CALL ZAMBIA!!

  35. I know ecl wants by all means win the elections in august this year but what kambwili is doing is making pipo angry.this is not good for this country

  36. RB never preached hate speech and the mighty Southern Province gave him 71,000 votes. PF rethink your strategy before you are booted out because it is good to exit with some dignity.

    • Mutuloba I agree with you .Sata stood three times and lost why?If Bembas can win on there own then we shall see.Even if they win what will they gain because Lungu is not Bemba after all he will only increase poverty.Who stands to loose.We shall teach them that united Zambians are main then them.

  37. IF BEMBAS AND NYANJAS ARE NOT TRIBLE WHY DIDNT HH WIN ELECTIONS. SO IT IS NOT TIBAL FOR A NYANJA TO VOTE FOR LUNGU BUT TRIBAL FOR A TONGA TO VOTE FOR HH. YOU HAVE ALWAYS VOTED FOR YOUR OWN PEOPLE SO CONTINUE. NYANJAS ARE WASTE TRIBALIST

  38. THIS IS REALLY HATING DONT JUST BLOCK FOR THE SAKE OF IT. WHAT WE WRITE HERE HAS THE POTENTIAL OF SETTING THIS COUNTRY ABLAZE

    • PF are the ones setting the country ablaze.

      Zambia will now have to pay for voting for Sata and his LIES and TRIBALISM in 2011.

      This is where this nonsense started, and I am very surprised that Zambians are too dull to understand that, even up to now.

      Sata was a curse on Zambia that we will have to carry for many years to come.

    • I always tell *****s who sing praises for one Mr Sata that he was the worst thing that ever happened to this country.The challenges we are facing now from a socio economic stand point was his creation and dull Zambians dont see that.

  39. Alexander Chikwanda Minister of Finance under PF was a public function and he was reported to tell the people of Eastern Province to vote for their own. Is this not tribal you fools who are calling others tribal. You also want to treat others like second class citizens. Do you ever hear a Lozi or Tonga go on English Radio station during an interview and speak tonga, but so many times you hear these fools of Chisimba and Fake Bwalya speak in bemba coz you think Bemba is a national lanaguage.
    Please dont push us we are not fools and this is now getting out of hand. If you think we are tribal then why are you refusing to let go of Barosteland.

  40. Zambians learn to analyse issues, why should you only look for the negatives in the 1.5 hr long interview- how about the hate speech and belittling of the president on HOT FM by HH on Thursday? Was that called for?

    Lets grow up and look at the coin from both sides instead of just picking what suits UPND and HH. don’t just comment from one roomed apartments (made from amapulanga-ifikopa) in the UK/America. You are the people misleading HH ati he’s popular yet you wont even vote because you can not afford to leave that country and come to vote for your HH-For a simple reason, you cannot afford an air ticket back home or do not have proper papers/permits to stay in that country. Ubupuba bubi…… Grow up and have respect for leadership!!!!!!

  41. Reading about the words that were said by the Hon Minister, I indeed feel he owes the people an apology. Despite the fact that the UPND is supported widely by our beloved southern province, I have come to realize that for us to be able to unite the country, it will take eliminating enmity. I feel right now the people that called for that Tonga meeting will be inspired to call for another. Such should be avoided.. If you realize your wife is easily irritated by A or B, try by all means to avoid it!!!. The hearts and minds of my brothers and sisters are simply patriotic, similar to the concept of our parents feeling proud when we excel, i feel most of my brothers value tradition too much and hence the strong love for UPND, however the more the idea of them being tribal and all is preached,…

  42. HH has a role to play, in the next elections, select non southern province people to stand on the UPND ticket in southern province i.e GBM and alike , that will have a psychological effect on the many Zambian tribes that agree with the propaganda against the south.

    • Fo.olish. Why give it credence. Nobody cares in the South about your suggestions because it just plays in your tribalists hands

  43. Siamunene, Madyankunku, Simbyakula, Hapunda etc, for pieces of silver, Yourselves, relatives and tribe mates have being insulted and you are quite smiling.

    • Just because they are Tonga, you want them to be in UPND. The problem with Tongas is that when is insulted – even the chiefs gang up and say we have been insulted. Kambwili is being insulted here but I doubt if the Bembas or Bisas will join the fight. Politicians are usually silly adults and the whole tribe should not follow their nonsensical behavior. Just the other day HH said nonsense about the president.

  44. Let next weeks sunday interview feature UPND spokespeason so that they are given an opportunity to be head as natural justice dectates.

  45. If even GRZ spokes person goes on air and preachers tribal divisions, it is time to divide the country. Let northerners vote for themselves and ruLe them selves and the same for southerners. GRZ is supposed to be above tribal politics, but they are preaching it.

  46. @ Hambaye. You are asking what I am talking about. I will put it so simple to you. I am talking about last nights Sunday interview were the Minister of Information of the Republic of Zambia Hon. Chishimba Kambwili featured. In that interview CK was so hateful to his own people ( whether one voted for PF or UPND, CK is a minister for them) of which he is a minister in the Republic. So that kind of talk is dangerous for your future. I am not talking about opposition or HH but what the Minister of information said and what it can do to this country. So if you cant understand this talk then I put it to you that take time to comprhend. This is your Zambia!!

  47. Please God delieve this country from these selfish and greed PF men and women. God look at how these taken you for:

    Wait for your days amen

  48. kambwili used to play rugby for roan by then i was a very smal boy before HH sold the mines with his friend kafupi,so whenever he is talking he sounds as though he is bitter, there is just too much of emphasis in his tone of the voice just understand him,i like the way you come out mr kambwili keep it up you are a straight forward man

  49. This how the genocide in Rwanda unfolded, government tribalist spokesmen using state media to preach and reinforce tribal divisions by referring to one tribe.

  50. You can’t compare eastern and southern, eastern has people who are flexible and know little about tribalism. I was in southern for 5 years and the way Tongas treated me was very ugly. on the contrast,this is my 4th year in eastern and I have never felt like being segregated. I live like am in my own province, confine your tribalism within your Southern province.

  51. Lusaka times, you are being paid by PF, why are you blocking my comments?? As we near elections your true coloures are showing.

  52. Comment: ba UPND just start private prosecutions for this fool since the police cannot arrest him. the law providrs for private prosecution.

  53. Did Kambwili mention any region? Why is it that one region has come out openly that its the one Kambwili was referring to? In Bemba we say that IMBILA YA MUSHI…..TABAYASUKILA!!!
    Take CK to court he will win because he did not mention any region!!!

  54. The vile tribal bigotry that man puked on air was to say the least most gutless indeed. One is given to wonder, did some Tonga buru nail his mother and wife or what?

  55. @ The Observer, what is there to admire about the statement from a rotten mouth? Please don’t lower yourself to such levels ba observer lest we categorize you as one of the empty tins that black fat monkey belongs to. CK I am waiting to see how you will ask for votes from the same pipo you insult, plus this issue of 50+1 mukose ba mambala. You even keep enough for lawyers as you prepare your exit in August.

  56. Aba bena bakopo. Making Copperstone University look bad shuwa.
    With these statements PF will get even less – if its possible – votes from southern province at a time when UPND is on course to wrestle more votes from PF strongholds. As a strategy this is called shooting oneself in the foot.

  57. kiki Lol ba UPND have problems.Did kambwili say one region or he said there are regions?.Meaning it maybe Luapula,northern,southern lusaka ect.Why is Kakoma saying kambwili meant southern province?ha ha ha indeed guys ba UPND u’re bitter.When HH insulted Lungu that he doesn’t know how to run a business and he stole a client money u all praised HH.When Kambwil says certain regions u cry.what about if he mentioned southern province?katwishi mayo.Viva PF

  58. The truth hates.HH came into politics thru tribalism at the expense of Patrick chisanga,sakwiba sikota,bob sichinga,lubinda ect.He was not even close to the top leadership but they cried Mazokka can only be succeded by a Tonga.what happened the promise was fulfilled & HH is a UPND leader.HH can’t shake the tribe tag coz he came from it.UPND chaps can’t be championing that HH is not tribe when he originated from tribalism. Even Lungu was in UPND but ran away coz of some blind followers of HH.indeed we need to change as zambians and denounce UPND tribal politics.

    • @Moscow take your stone aged politics to your caves.We in a modern Zambia.we Zambians are voting for HH to change the economy.Not this Lungu Cry baby everything ati Global ,abana ta ba lile ba nganda ati because na neighbor has not eaten.salapuka look for ways to feed your family(Zambia).Which global.

  59. I ALWAYS SAY THAT THERE ARE FOUR PEOPLE, NAMELY CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI, CHAMA DAVIES, SUNDAY CHNADA AND MUMBI WABA PHIRI. THESE FOUR ARE THE MOST TRIBALISTS AND KEEPING THEM IN THE OFFICE ARE JUST DIGGING A DITCH FOR PF.
    THE FOUR ARE BEMBAS FROM ONE REGION AND WHY DONT WE HEAR FROM OTHER 72 TRIBES CONDEMNING THE TONGA? THE FOOLISHNESS OF A LEADER IS THE TALK OF HURTING OTHERS AND THIS WILL MAKE LUNGU GO OUT FAST.

  60. All people from Bemba land and others except Tongas resolved in January 2015 that the will never vote for a leader who in the night was busy ferrying his tribesmates to vote for him and him alone. Has UPND and HH forgotten the dangerous game they started in January 2015 elections where the entire province during rain season voted massively for HH and only gave President Lungu 300 votes?
    It’s time for the Bembas to also vote for a humble and unifying, God fearing person emass in the name of President Lungu. HH, Munkombwe and UPND started this tribal game and they have to face their own rules come August 2016.

  61. This must be the hardest thing that uPMD has been hit with, the truth……they do not even know where to complain. I suspect that what Kakoma is really complaining about is the undressing of economic manager. Did you hear the last sentence of the interview?

    Kakoma: “According to Cap 87, Section 70(1) of the laws of Zambia it is stated as follows: “Any person who utters any words or publishes any writing expressing or showing hatred, ridicule or contempt for any person or group of persons wholly or mainly because of his or their race, tribe, place of origin or colour is guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years.” contd

  62. The key words are “….expressing or showing hatred, ridicule or contempt for….”. Hon Kambwili expressed none of the above words, he expressed his great concern for what they did in southern province, that does not amount to hatred, ridicule or contempt. Mr Kakoma, cases like this are near impossible to win, it would be you to prove that it was Kambwili’s intention to express hate, ridicule or contempt of the tonga tri…ball. You, Kakoma, would have to convince Hon Kambwili to admit the charge in order for you to win the case. Ndi wash out iyi badala, so don’t waste your time and money and ours too.

  63. The difference between UPND and PF supporters is clearly Visible. UPND supporters will never mention any political leader by their tribe or origin but only about failure to manage politically driven issues whereas PF will never mention anything on UPND but on their tribe and where their originate Kambwilli on Sunday never articulated on how Zambia can come out of the 21% inflation rate but rather focused on how UPND should not be elected due to their being Tongas. Equally father Bwalya on Hot FM spent so much time analysing how HH is tonga and how UPND should not be elected because their leader is Tonga. Its very funny I have never HH on any platform saying don’t vote for ECL because is Nsenga or Sata being Bisa, but he has forwarded his own assessment of their incapabilities, So insult…

    • Mr.Real you are very dull. Look at the voting pattern in Luapula and Northern province and do a trend analysis. In 2011 Sata got over 40 000 votes from Southern province while HH got 3 600 from Northern ,Luapula and Muchinga combined. Did you here HH say people from those areas are tribalist? No, so WTF are u talking about?

    • 1.It is also true that Tongas voted *0% for Chiluba in 1991 while no Bemba voted for Mazoka who
      was the best.
      2.It is also true that Sata(BEMBA) lost three times in 2001,2006,and 2008.my question is if Bembas are majority why did Sata these times?
      In Zambia people speak Bemba in town but the majority are not bemba.So PF is digging there own grave.watch the space.Zambians have woken up .HH will win this time with or without your vote and you dead scared.

  64. The one thing Sata managed to do was to bring out the worst in SOME bembas who now feel they are more Zambian than other tribes. Surely 5 out of 7 Zambian official tribes voted for HH, where is the tribalism? HH got 2000 votes in Muchinga, Northern and Luapula provinces combined while southern province alone gave PF 24,000 votes, who is more tribal??? Manje ba tonga naveve too much kuyopa a bemba, so you will see if HH wins he will surround himself with bembas just to get their validation! It’s even better to vote for ECL who has put bembas in their rightful place – in the background

  65. HH should leave politics, his participation is brewing hatred.Tongas don’t worry about not having one of your own president, it means nothing, its only him and his family members that benefits and those to be given jobs, the rest of us its just a satisfied ego which adds no any value .For the sake of peace leave GBM to stand on UPND ticket I can assure you PF will lose terribly because the Bemba vote will be assured.Meanwhile you will go down in history as a selfeless man who put Zambia first.Nkumbula could have chosen an alliance with the whites, a move which could have derailed and delayed Zambia`s independence to until the 80`s.

  66. The tribalism in the Southern province of Zambia is covert tribalism which is covertly supported by HH and UPND. Unless one is very dull or blind they will not be able to see the voting patterns in Southern Province since UPND was inaugurated in our electoral system. HH and the Post/Cartel have entered into a symbiotic relationship which supports the hatred for Bemba / eastern province tribes. One of the key things that Zambian should do on 11th August, 2016 is to free Zambia from the symbiotic relationship between UPND and the cartel.

  67. It seems Zambia is what it is because we tolerate and embarrass mediocrity. For those that truly believe in the PF, maybe you’ve attained financial freedom and that is why you feel no pain for the sad policies that we’ve lived by, the increased inflation, the arrogance of PF leaders and their cadres… And we expect PF to uplift our lives when they preoccupy our time attaching personalities and not issues. It’s shameful

  68. I can see that most pf supporters have no brain cells. Everyday in the media we jst read about pf getting loans…….
    1.Now with the mines trimming labour force everyday were do u think your pf will get money to pay.
    2.The kwacha is already dead.

    3.Inflation has reached double digit.

    4.Most of u same pf dander heads can’t even afford to have breakfast for yoselves but u r busy shouting ifintu ni lungu. Rubbish

    • I always tell vendors who come peddling their rubbish to me at the traffic lights to go and sell to Lungu.Its so inconceivable how these twats keep supporting a party that is devoid of any leadership material..i.d.i.o.t.s

    • It is evident that the person with extremely few brain cells is you
      1.HH came to C/B when we had so many issues only to utter clueless solutions-Anglo my foot
      2.The last time i checked the kwacha is stable at k11 to a dollar +/-1,stability is what is desirable in a business,in fact it went as high as k14,but thanks to the people working around the clock its stable at k11.
      3.Most of us ZAMBIANS are now afraid of what will happen if a tribalist is voted to the highest office,in short i would rather vote for EL WHO HAS DEMONSTRATED STATEMANSHIP despite the various challenges due to global issues.

  69. This is why I say PF is full of Kaponyas. You would think they would concentrate on kissing the people of Southern province so that they convince them that they are darlings, but hey everyday its insults, Tonga this, Tonga that, HH is a tribalist, HH is a tribalist. How in the name of the devil do you expect them to vote for you? Absolute dunderheads the lot, PF cadres here and their leaders. Even when you are wooing a woman, do you shower her with insults everyday and expect to get into her pants. I repeat you are dunderheads. While you are concentrating on Southern, the western parts and north western parts are also slowly slipping away you dunderheads!!!

  70. As the kaponyas are saying…the truth hates…..21% inflation, almost usless kwacha, job and electricity shedding becoming normal, $10 billion nkongole, no investores, nothing works in the country…
    That is why GRZ are taking to the airwaves with tribalism infused speeches.

  71. THE JANUARY 2015 VOTING PATTERN IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE VINDICATES KAMBWILI.
    SHAME.
    AND HH IS UPND LEADER BECAUSE OF ONLY ONE THING; HE IS A REGIONALIST THROUGH AND THROUGH TO HIS DNA.

  72. What role has ZNBC’s recent “Sunday Interview” programmes served the people of Zambia in fostering national unity and development?

  73. ECZ election results are online for all to see. When you analyse the voting trends in the last two elections, 2011 and 2015: my word, one would say Kambwili is a genius.
    Pool the data from just those 2 elections and zero your analysis on the voting trends between UPND and PF.
    IT IS SHOCKING, PEOPLE!! AWE MWANDI!

  74. It’s always intriguing to see the level of thinking of the average Zambian on these blog pages. Zambia is definitely doomed with such poor quality thinking and lack of analytical skills. Any student of history will tell you that the current voting patterns are actually the chickens of Zambias forgotten and long forsaken history coming home to roost. Individuals like Chishimba knowing full well that they have no real message to deliver to the masses will continue to attempt to divide the people in their desperate quest to continue ruling. These are individuals who just last week contracted 4 loans in order to repay other loans that are due. They have bled the coffers dry. Ultimately Kambwili is a mere reflection of the pitiful state of the Zambian populace. Chishimba is a man without…

  75. …. Chishimba is a man without intellectual fortitude who will only react to his environment without proactively seeking solutions on how to improve it. The PF is a punishmentvisited on Zambia but the people seem to love this punishment as any true sado masochist wouldand truly the Zambians have become sadists. The PF and the Zambians are definitely a perfect match.

  76. UPND, just sue the misfit. You have all the evidence, and the law to back up your suit. When a nation has about 10 misfits at the helm of governance, this is what you get. I do not know where pf imported these three “dirambas” in the likes of kambwili, the so called “father” bwalya, and rapist chilufya tayali, when the nation is already fully laden with non flushing and offensively smelling toilets. We have already enough of these smells. Why should we have more? Of all countries in the world, why should Zambia have these political non flushable and smelly toilets?

    • Freedom of speech has been under attack in Zambia since 1964.

      SATA finally killed it in 2011.

      That is why the opposition will not be given any chance to respond to this in Government owned media.

  77. i think chishimba kambwili was spot on,pipo of southern prvnc ar so tribal tht if it means a cow is competing with anyone frm other provinces,they will still choose a cow.am nt a bemba norppp an easterner bt a tribal cousin to the tongas,bt the way fools votes hurts me alot.

  78. As long as you UPND cadres continue insulting the President we will also continue to call you tribalists which you are in reality. Viva Kambwilli you nailed it lets all vote on tribal lines

  79. Nawakwi, Mumba, Chipimo, Sinkamba, and the leader of the 4Revolution party hail from Northern Province. The total votes put together that all these 5 candidates received in predominantly Bemba speaking provinces namely Muchinga, Northern and Luapula are far less what the region gave to HH. At individual level, Zambians are not tribalists. It’s failed politicians that use tribalism to justify their political failures.

  80. God has raised Chishimba Kabwili to speak on behalf of Edgar Lungu just as he raised Aaron to help Moses HH was on Radio some other time were he insulted Edgar from left to Right but None blamed that apart from Father Frank Bwalya! Edgar you have my Vote the truth Hates!! Political pulnits

  81. These are the kind of sentiments one would least expect from someone calling themselves a minister. Not long along, this same silly baboon called North Westerners “banyamazai”. Today, here it is, on national airwaves, blasphemously insulting Jesus and Tongas all in one breath! One wonders what beef this ape has with HH, did he grab a “blow job” from Ms Chimbwili and came flooding her silly face with “shoot” or what? Anyway, these tribalistic clueless Neanderthals will only hasten the disintegration of Zambia. Looking at that Chimbwilic monkey mentioning the name of HH, he looked like he was going to explode. No wonder an exploding monkey is called a baBOOM! And his nostrils, apuu! Anyway, it matches the size of his fingers that he has to perpetually insert in the agape nostrils to…

  82. After having listened to Kambwili’s utterances on TV, it’s hard to believe this is the quality of government spokesman. He mentions of having served a Min of Foreign Affairs and claims to know how tribal conflict started and escalated in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa, really?

    With such ‘genocide knowledge’ one would have expected him not to degrade the other tribe to point of comparing them to voting against Jesus if he stood against their own. This is too low thinking of a degree holder minister.

    Yes I’ll vote for UPND or any party of my choice out of convinction of good policies and tribal influences. As for you Kambwili, we want to remember you as ex-minister and not otherwise. I respect your tribe and I value my tribe

  83. HH AND HIS MINIONS ARE FEELING THE HEAT FROM THEIR TRIBAL GAMES. IF YOU THOUGHT TRIBAL POLITICS WERE GOING TO ELEVATE YOU, WELU.EVEN BEMBAS CAN DO IT

  84. THE INTERVIEW IS ARRANGED QUESTIONS ARE SET IN ADVANCE BY KAMBWILI .THERE IS NO ITELLIGENCE IN THE RESPONSES AS THE ANSWERS ARE ALREADY REHEASAED

  85. Apparently all this Kambwili tribal talk is coming from a govt that called for a national day of prayer or reconciliation to unite people. What a bunch of hyp0crites.

    And anyone who doubted who the author of that Chitimukulu tribal rhetoric, there’s your evidence.. it’s clear that the PF govt were behind it all.

  86. The ugly baastard cannot see the tribal pattern of voting in Muchinga, Luapula and Northern! 3 provinces but only sees it in Southern Province. And the Chief Sosala…what?

    Genocide on the way here to Zed, a Christian Nation?

  87. Kambwili has a point to blame Tonga people, off course we are very tribal, there has been power cuts, the depreciation of the kwacha against the dollar, millions of trucks taking maize to Zimbabwe whilst the prices of mili meal are high, the plans to Dam Batoka gorge for hydro-power I can go on and on, How can you not be tribal, how can you not be tribal after your province has been ignored for 50 years with all the government coming into power unless you are a stupid Tribe, southern province depend on farming through there hard work and Tourism otherwise we will be dead by now. So Mr dush bag Kambwili or ***** or no neck, you are so worthless I would love to see your wife and ask her why she married you because you the most UGLY, REPULSIVE, DISGUSTING Person the whole Zambia and guess…

  88. CALL A SPADE, A SPADE. AND CK JUST DID THAT. WE CANNOT PRETEND THAT IN SP THERE IS NO TRIBAL VOTING. INFACT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SUCH SENTIMENTS HAVE BEEN EXPRESSED BY ZAMBIANS. VOTER TURNOUT WAS OVER 42% IN SP IN FAVOUR OF HH. WHILE IN THE REST OF ZAMBIA IT WAS LESS THAN 35% FOR DIFFERENT CANDIDATES INCLUDING HH. INFACT HH DID FAR MUCH BETTER IN PF STRONGHOLDS THAN ECL DID IN SP. SO IT IS A KNOWN FACT. GBM AND CB WILL NOT BE RUNNING MATES. THEY WILL BE SACRIFICED IN PREFERENCE FOR A TONGA VP. AS ZAMBIANS WE ARE AFRAID OF THIS TRIBALISM IN UPND. THATS WHY WE FEAR TO GIVE THEM THE PRESIDENCE.

  89. Zambia: Tribalism threatens to destroy UPND (editorial)

    The Post (Zambia) / Wednesday, 28 June 2006

    Whoever wins the UPND presidency will have a very difficult job to unite this party. The competition for the presidency of UPND has certainly opened a fissure in the party’s unity and cohesion.From the very beginning, the way UPND was organised created a great potential for serious regional problems and contradictions. At the core of UPND has been Southern and Western provinces, or put in more precise terms, it has been a party whose main support base lay with the Tongas and the Lozis with some fragmented support in North-Western Province.

    This in itself meant that any weakening of the cohesion between the Tongas and their traditional cousins, the Lozis had the danger of seriously…

  90. Mr intelligent is not so intelligent after all as he is looking at absolute numbers and not percentages. from your figures, the percentages if you just take the results for HH and Lungu are as follows:-
    Southern Province : HH 92.85%
